As known, the anti-religious campaign had become one of the most important components
of the Soviet ideological system. It aimed to oust the ideas of the divine principle and of
the priority of heavenly life over the earthly one from the collective consciousness. The
vacant place was taken by a new faith in a bright communist future, for the arrival of
which it was necessary to put a lot of work there and than. The peak of the struggle against
religion was in the period in 1920s.
The Buryat-Mongolian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (the official name of Buryatia
from May 30, 1923 to 1958) was specific in this matter because of the many diverse
religions and cults. Buddhism, Orthodoxy and Shamanism were intertwined and Old Believers
lived compactly around the capital of the republic. Therefore, the policy of population’s
atheization was more specific than in mono-confessional regions. In this regard, the
Soviet government tried to win the support of young people and to put them in the vanguard
of the struggle against religion. The article deals with the role of the youth in the
population’s atheization in the difficult multi-religious region
